[QUOTE="Pdvdh, post: 1477749, member: 4191"] The benefit to buckshot over quality slugs from shotguns is the enlarged POIs from the multiple pellets. It allows a bit of aiming error while still hopefully disabling the bear or attacking animal with a shot to the head. Tungsten buckshot may pattern so tightly that this advantage is diminished at 15-25yds. I don't know because I haven't been able to try it out yet. Out of a cylinder choke, it might be "perfect", for a save your life - bear charging scenario. [/QUOTE]
